Every time - every single time - I've purchased a major AAA game anywhere close to the release window in the past 10 years, it's been a mistake. Pay a shitload more for a half baked, buggy, unfinished mess.
At this point I just don't buy big time releases within 6 months of launch. Even when I'm certain of the game itself, it just ends up being a mistake.
They don't all do this, though - research seems to use imaging and other observational techniques, self reporting isn't the only source. Brain imaging is one, and I know they've demonstrated variance in automatic pupil responses to back up self report. I think they have also used it as a research control in other studies after that, but I don't know a ton about it. [EDIT: as someone else pointed out it seems like they literally do include that in this case]
This is what I remember reading, I think, and that...advocacy? awareness?...site also has a decent running collection of assorted research. Seems like it's not very well understood or studied, which makes sense when it doesn't really affect behavior or quality of life.
Absolutely. There will be a fat donation, and then the EPA will mandate its ongoing use on all crops at 150% volume going forward. The Department of Health will issue guidance that it's super not linked to cancer and safe to drink straight (bonus: this also cures the measles, which is good because they're back "somehow"!) to intentionally undermine any lawsuits, and the USDA will cut off farm subsidies to anyone who doesn't comply in practice.
I hated this, too for...tangential reasons. Bad things don't just happen, see, they happen because the protagonist, the antagonists, and basically everyone in the entire book the author bother to give a name takes every available opportunity to fumble around and fuck things up.
If you've ever heard of "competence porn", just imagine the exact opposite and you pretty much get the gist.
*for the 1/10% deemed worthy of surviving by the Totally Benevolent Masters.
They just transparently cannot wait for the day where they genuinely don't need poor people for labor anymore and get to kill off almost everyone else outside their aristocratic bubble.
No, it's absolutely correct as you broaden it to consider the average adult costs vs the average child.
The real reason you see this is that your employer gets a SUBSTANTIAL subsidy for YOUR insurance via a payroll tax credit. They do not get this for your spouse, so you see the true cost for them.
"Chatbot like LLMs" as if that doesn't encapsulate LLMs entirely.
